Systems Are Static Representations of Dynamical Interactions

One of the least intuitive aspects about systems is the fact that they are a static representation of a complex interaction which involves dynamic events. This means that once you arrive at the system representation--at least to an adequate level--then you can be sure that any improvements accrue on the system. This is a beautiful feature of systems because it means that as long as you have the correct representation you can rest easy. You can now focus on integrating improvements.

The alternative is to think in terms of tasks or events that necessary to process some input, converting it from one form to another. This is dynamic thinking and is not immune to changes You introduce any changes to system in which all the components are active components that it might be that you have to hear out how the system functions are you wanting to be fixed. You want the system to always be fixed. You never want to have dynamic view of all the different pieces in whole.
